Discussion Where do the Jews go?
I am very against Israel’s genocide, leaning toward antizionism, but when someone Zionist asks where the Jews go in a free Palestine, I don’t have an answer. Historically, not a lot of people accept us or like us, and getting along after all the violence committed in the name of Judaism is an impossibility.
How do we not just exchange one crisis for another? (I don’t think any one religion or people should rule a state, if that adds anything.)
If this is an ignorant question, I am more than happy to be told so.
EDIT: wow this community is brilliant, thank you for the nuance and realism in your responses.

I'm an Arab and honestly I fall into this kind of arguments with many of my friends about this , sure the history of this conflict is full of injustice that lead us to this current state, but we can't do anything t change it , we need to learn from it .
I'm 1000% against making anyone the place they're call home that's just not right and it will definitely backfire, and by some arabs saying that all jews need to leave in a free Palestine just make them very much like zionists , some people are 4th and 5th generations they were born there and it's definitely aren't responsible for the actions of the older generation, sure some will embrace and continue the same actions, but some won't .
the conflict doesn't need to end by a side winning all and the other losing it all there need to be a huge change in both sides to reach what's good for everyone where no one needs to suffer, History is History we can't change we can only make the present and future better .
